Taking advantage of Heat Pump water Heater cool air in summer months

I would love some advice about how to control ducted cool air from my Heat Pump Water Heater to adjacent room w/ Nest Thermostat setpoints. I plan on adding two dampers to to supply or exhaust the cool air, depending on interior temps, either one powered and one barometric or two powered. Currently we have a heat only furnace and use the Nest to also control the furnace fan to intermittently ventilate the house per a schedule. I've looked at manual dampers and am interested in a bit more automated control using a the Nest thermostat.

Any wisdom would appreciated.

HRV replacement

Hi everyone. I need to replace my old air exchanger that was installed in 1990 and has 4" ducting. Can anyone tell me if I am able to reduce the 5 inch ports, which all the new ones seem to have, to attach to the old 4" duct work. Thanks

Passive Through-The-Wall ventilation in Garage

R

rbdubz3 on May 30, 2022

I have a semi-finished garage - the 3rd car portion was framed, insulated, drywalled plus electrical years ago before I purchased the home. There is a door separating the main garage from the 3rd car. This 3rd car garage is now our Media room. I live in coastal San Diego area, and don't yet require AC in my house. I have a whole house fan that I'm pretty happy with. However, this 3rd car garage/media room does get pretty stuffy since there is no ventilation. I'm thinking of adding some passive thru-the-wall ventilation to allow my whole house fan to suck cooler air from my main garage (which is already ventilated). I was planning do something like 12"x12" Air Return and Air Register. Any recommendations on the right way to DIY this one?
